Exactly, Nic. I sat there the whole game last night and didn't leave until after the last out, and I'd take a damn bullet for this franchise, but if there isn't anything to naturally cheer about for the fans who are there, then, well, there isn't. When the team gets two or three hits a night, not a lot to stand on the chairs about.

I guess it doesn't really bother all that much because a majority of these moves were made with the next few seasons in mind. It would have been nice to win the division but we really had little chance to do much damaged there with the thin pitching staff.

Is that what Lyons said? What a bozo, i was there and surprised at how much the crowd actually got into the game even for the smallest things when they were still losing. The "Cruuuuuz" and standing up for Ethier batting in extra innings, they did the wave while i was being grumpy about the shit i was watching.....
